The firmness of the tent's support frame is crucial

When camping outside, the sturdiness of the tent must be taken into consideration when setting up a tent. The sturdiness of the tent frame is crucial.

The indicator for measuring the sturdiness of a tent also depends on whether the metal support of the entire tent is sturdy. Usually, there are only two types of tent poles that we can see, one is fiberglass pole and the other is aluminum pole, each with its own advantages.

fibreglass rod

As a fiberglass rod, the thicker it is, the stronger its rigidity and the weaker its flexibility. So whether the selection of fiber tube support is reasonable is determined by the ratio of its ground size and height, as being too thick or too thin can easily lead to breakage. The cost is cheaper than aluminum tent poles, but due to the special material, it is also prone to aging and breakage, and its toughness is not very strong.

Aluminum rod

Aluminum rods, on the other hand, have better toughness, higher strength, and are lighter and more portable than fiberglass rods. However, they also have the disadvantage of being expensive due to the improved material. Aluminum rods are usually made of two types of materials, one is 7075T9 and the other is 7001T6. The former is made of better material than the latter. In China, all aluminum rods with better materials are imported from three countries: South Korea, the United States, and Germany.

steel pipe

Mainly used on large tents such as military tents and disaster relief tents. Also known as high-frequency welded pipe. The surface is treated with spray coating or galvanizing, and there are round pipes and square pipes. The diameter of the pipe generally ranges from 19 to 50mm, and the wall thickness ranges from 0.8 to 3mm.
